When was eric jensen born

Jensen also recruited and maintained a plus external board of advisors. Jensen also found donor and internal support to launch new student—faculty internships and a new structured internship program. While his prior experiences will no doubt inform his decision-making on behalf of IWU, Jensen said his initial months on campus would be spent meeting and talking with as many people as possible to find out their concerns, and hopes, for the future.

I look forward to working with each of them. This is a complex organization with many moving parts, and it takes a team to make it go. Just days after beginning his presidency in November, he met with both the Argus student newspaper staff and the Council on Inclusion and Awareness CIA , a group designed to promote leadership among the many student organizations that support and encourage diversity. Juarez is a CIA member who also served on the search committee that helped pick Jensen. Beyond preparing IWU students to lead in a diverse, multicultural society, one area of diversity Jensen emphasizes is the need to find more sources for financial aid so that lower-income students can more easily afford an Illinois Wesleyan education.

And for him to be on campus for probably less than a week and already want to do that with us, that was really important. Liberal arts colleges still do that. And so, the question is: how do we adapt to modern demands while still remaining true to our essential purpose as a liberal arts institution? And how do we seize modern opportunities to let that form of education evolve?

And so, the notion that we can help train students to do that is a very powerful one. With less traditional experiences, like internships, the question is, first, how we bring to bear on internships the distinctive tools of the liberal arts experience — reflection, discussion and the like — in order to allow students to come to the broader lessons of problem solving, or leadership, or multicultural competency, or entrepreneurship; and second, how our students and graduates demonstrate the value of these skills to their employers.

The athletics program here is amazing. It all combines to give this campus a different feel, and a real sense of excitement, which is unusual for a school of this size.

Corwin Press. Jensen has appeared on over television and radio stations, both domestic and international including CNN. Eric and Diane both contribute time to the community in different ways.

This fund provides private, discretionary options enabling scientists to respond quickly to areas of greatest need without having to wait for public funding for urgent projects. Finally, as you can tell, learning is a passion for me, and I love to share that passion with your staff. Second, I am a relentless fanatic for perfection. If I reach If I uncover a crucial study that your audience should know about, they will hear about.

Not a year later, but the very next day. And the first thing I do is hold up a mirror. I feel driven by the relentless pursuit of that elusive perfection. My presentations are backed by science , but you get lay-person language with school-based examples. These events have engaged over highly reputable, often award-winning, neuroscientists to speak in translational terms to educators. This has only come about as a result of the collaboration of educators and scientists linking the research directly to those in the schools.

Scientists support brain-based education because it makes sense. It takes a partnership between educators and scientists to get it all right. Char M. I have made over 45 visits to neuroscience laboratories to talk directly with the scientists who do the studies.

I brought, for 20 years, teacher groups into the labs to see, hear and touch HOW the research is actually done. I want to know, straight from the scientists who are actually doing the research, what it says and how to translate it.

I was one of the first educators in the world to be invited into the Society for Neuroscience, an invitation-only organization of neuroscientists. This inner circle membership is just one of many ways you get an inside track to the latest, breaking news in the world of learning.

Why is that so important? Getting your teachers better trained right is my 1 priority. Good teaching is highly correlated with student achievement.

What am I an expert at? Growing your staff! Quality teaching matters not just a little; it is the single greatest ingredient that you have influence over. But you do have influence over the 30 hours a week that the student spends in school. To help your staff be the best, I try to be the best in my field.

Your staff will get a former teacher with through the roof credibility. But there are several reasons I might not be the right person for you:. What are three ways to save money on Eric Jensen? I make no apology for the price I have to charge to bring world-class experience, credibility, relevancy, engagement and professionalism to your event. A one-day event often means four days of time for me travel, workbook prep, presentation prep, research, and day of the event, etc.

Nothing is more relevant to educators than your brain or the brains of your students, parents, or staff.
